Weather
I do believe I detect a hint of Fall weather in the air. Nothing
hotter than 88 for 7 days straight. Finally!
Good-Bye Credit Cards
Well, it has been just a few days past the five-month mark. Today we
cancelled our credit cards. On April 1st, we announced we were going
to an all-cash lifestyle. I’m pleased to say we officially “cut the
cord” tonight and called Citibank with the big news. They weren’t
happy. They offered to waive the annual fee (for the AAdvantage
card), increase the limit, lower the limit, alter the interest rate,
etc. Nope. Don’t need it. Don’t want it. It’s all cash from here
on out, baby.
Dinner at Momo’s
The girls spent the night with Momo on Friday. Here they are having a little dinner (chicken nuggets and french fries) while watching the Doodle-Bops.
Note To Self
RTFM!
Sundays
I love Sundays. Early church with family and friends. Family lunch
afterwards. A few chores around the house. Playing with the kids. Dinner
together. Early pajama-time for the kids while we wind down and prepare
for the week ahead.
It is a great way to begin each week.

I Miss My Hog
This weekend is the ROT Rally in Austin. My office sits right on highway 183, a main passageway to the hill country. For the past two days, about every 60 seconds I can hear a Harley go by. It’s slowly eating at me. I turned in my ride a few years ago when my oldest daughter was born. I don’t think about it much anymore, but the last couple of days have been a bit painful. Anna and I were both huge Harley fans “back in the day.” Now we wouldn’t think of both riding together on one for fear of “the worst” happening and leaving our little girls behind. In the meantime, I’ll settle for crawling around on the ground with my little crumb-crunchers.
